“The Athletic Association will complete an Indoor Practice Facility behind Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall, which will enable football, track and other outdoor sports to practice year-round in a climate-controlled facility. Architectural drawings and schematics are being drawn up now and we have begun securing the necessary funds to begin this project. The initial estimate of the facility is $12 million. Projections for completion have yet to be determined but we are hoping to break ground on this project immediately.”

Is it going over the track or some of the practice fields?

Any idea when the renderings will be released to the public?

Before anyone ask, yes, $12 million is really cheap for an IPF. Let’s keep in mind the remodeling to BM a few years ago cost $40 million and includes most the necessities (meeting rooms, weight rooms, offices, etc.) that other schools have included in their IPF. For instance, Auburn spent $16.5 million, but it included a lot of which is already built into BM. Tennessee is the same way. They have their meeting rooms, weight rooms, etc flanking their IPF. So in other words, we should all be very excited. Hopefully it looks good
